Chinese Savory Pancakes
Amber would like to thank her aunt, Mrs. C. T. Lu, for teaching her how to make these pancakes more than twenty years ago.
Ingredients
6 tbsp. of flour
1 large egg
1/3 cup of cold water
1 green onion
1 tsp. of cooking oil
salt and pepper
Steps
- Remove both ends of the green onion. Wash and chop it.
- Mix the first three ingredients together until a smooth batter is formed. Break all lumps of flour apart.
- Add the chopped green onion, salt, and pepper to the batter and mix well.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet until hot. Pour the batter onto the skillet.
- Move the skillet to spread the batter to a desired size and thickness. Pan-fry the batter until it can be easily lifted along the edge.
- Flip the pancake to cook the other side until the pancake is done.
- Cut the pancake into wedges and serve.
This is one of the ways people in northern China get their carbohydrates. Serving these pancakes is a good alternative to serving steamed rice.
